iZotope Ozone 12 is here!

The latest generation of iZotope’s flagship mastering suite has arrived, and it’s a true game-changer. With Ozone 12, the company once again pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in digital mastering, blending the power of artificial intelligence with a renewed focus on creative control.

One of the standout features is the new Stem EQ, which allows engineers to shape vocals, bass, drums, and other elements directly within a stereo file—no multitracks required. This opens up entirely new possibilities for fine-tuning mixes.

Or did you hear about Bass Control? A module designed to deliver clean, punchy low-end that translates consistently across different playback systems.

Ozone 12 is available in Elements, Standard, and Advanced editions, as well as part of the Music Production Suite 8.

Unlimiter and more!

Another revolutionary addition is the Unlimiter, which can actually restore dynamics lost to over-compression. For many producers, this feels like a long-awaited “undo button” for crushed audio.

The Master Assistant has also evolved, shifting from automation to collaboration. Rather than dictating the process, the assistant now helps users design their own mastering chain, from modules and LUFS targets to genre-specific presets.

Meanwhile, the brand-new IRC 5 Maximizer provides louder masters with exceptional clarity, free from pumping or distortion.
